Steeming community contest, your story 2 by @faithilyn
I would really like to thank @fabio2614 for this contest. So this is what came to my mind.
Love them but don't spoil them
Source
In the area where I grew up that is Entebbe in uganda, there was a family that comprised of a mother, father and their two children, a boy and a girl. These children were so much loved by their parents especially the mother to an extent that she never wanted her children to be disciplined or to be told that they had faulted.
One day the dad wanted to discipline them because of the way they had misbehaved at school, but the wife got so furious and actually it led to the break up of the parents. What the man did was to pack his suitcase and he left the home because he felt he could nolonger stay in peace at home with the wife and children.
When the man left, the woman stayed at home with the children, but good enough the guy continued supporting his family but from a far.
But because this woman never wanted anyone to talk about her kids, and she never corrected them in their wrongs because she believed that correcting them would upset them, yet she always wanted to see them happy , these children became unruly and so problematic, by dodging school, doing drugs and instead of paying their school fees, they kept the money and did whatever they wanted with it.
People of the village went to the woman and told her about her children's behaviours but she never believed them. So time passed and too bad, this woman died of heart failure, these children remained in the house alone because their dad never came back, they turned the house into a house of robbers and drug dealers which became a big problem to the village.
So, one day the village people teamed up and called the police to help them and arrest the group of young guys who had become a problem to the society and raid was successful because all were arrested by police.
Parents yes, we love our children but let's not spoil them, let that love that we feel towards them force us to correct them when they are wrong and try as much as we can to show them the right way to live so that they can become responsible citizens. I know when we do that, we won't be spoiling them but instead we will be helping them as well as helping ourselves and later on we would be so proud of them.
I invite @amazing-grace @brendakim and @kyara2
This is really a very nice and educative story. “Spare the rod and spoil the child”
Well said my dear.
Interesting story!
But why would the mother allow her husband leave and not try to bring him back after several days of his absence. It shows a lot that needs investigation. And also, on hearing about the demise of his wife, the man still didn't come back. Why keep sending money- Bad investment if you'd ask me.
Thank you @damzxyno
For us the outsiders , the story we got was that the man left because the woman didn't want him to say anything about the children but may be there was something else between them which was not good and this was just a spark. After the death of the wife, the man never sent money again to the children. It's like he totally forgot all about them.
Interesting story!
Thanks dear
Wow, this is amazing.You know we need to love our children and correct them where they go wrong.We also need to exercise wisdom in our dealings with them, otherwise we can only reap what we sow.@faithilyn, thanks for this cordial invitation,I have enjoyed reading it.
